Since most of the people who are suffering from depression do not get the proper treatment due to absence of any diagnoses, the condition for them becomes worse. If you think you are undergoing some disturbance of emotions, it is better for you to get yourselves a depression test so that the proper treatment can be given.

There are a few criteria or questions that you can ask yourself so as to get an idea about your condition:
• Do you keep a sad or anxious mood persistently?
• Have you developed pessimism or hopelessness for life and future?
• Have feelings of guilt or worthlessness developed in you?
• Has your concentration been affected?
• Are you able to remember things and make decisions?
• Are you facing sleep trouble, whether too much or too less sleep?
• Have your eating habits gone to the extreme, either overeating or loss of appetite?
• Do you feel restless, irritable or impatient?
• Do some physical symptoms like digestive disorders, headaches, etc does not respond to medication.

Even if you have answered the above questions in the affirmative, it is suggested that you go for a diagnosis to the doctor. He will then conduct a proper test and inventory which will find out whether you are suffering from depression or not. Most importantly, if you are considering the thoughts of suicide or harming yourself, it is time to visit the doctor and seek assistance to bring you back to your original self.
